Fleeing Is Not Heroism

A few days ago, a Vetevendosje activist from Podujevo issued Kosovo with a suitcase in her hand. He called our country hopeless but did not hesitate to write even some pathetic words, saying how we once captured the rifle to protect our homeland and were now catching up the case to get away from it. Those words became viral on social networks, such as many other things that touch lazy minds.

By statistics from Kosovo Statistics Agency. [ ASK] until 2014 [with prior to the last edition: November 2014 March 2015] resulted in more people leaving the country after the war than before the war. So more people left Kosovo during freedom, than during the time of oppression.

This phenomenon, the renowned Marxist psychiatrist, Erich Fromm, would be referred to as “ics from freedom, a notion that served as a cornerstone to explain the embrace of anti - Semitic, Nazi and fascist ideas before World War II.

However, our flight is not that simple, even though we are very close - language associates, perhaps only two thousand words in circulation. The lack of economic perspective in the country that is simplified up to banality translates into a lack of progress for itself after a five- to ten-year period of age leads to the idea that freedom has expanded in Kosovo, but also the feeling of poverty.

Today, the feeling of poverty may be shared by someone who receives 1,000 euros a month. Yesterday, he might not feel poor even by three hundred.

However, fleeing the country that expresses love in its festive dates and sports events is an act of betrayal. Because the homeland exists even in reality beyond sporting events, beyond political and economic currents, beyond historical prides in the exploits and everyday elections of its citizens. It's an act of betrayal because it separates individual fate from the fate of the homeland.

This massive flight has greatly strengthened the resistance and internal political struggle. He has paralysed civic discontent, whose position could lead to development and prosperity. And of course, accountability. Economic entrepreneurship has also paralyzed him. It numbs the collective spirit that enjoys consuming security and public space to rush coffee to hunt shit. Enjoying the flow “down and up” with no purpose. But from AKS statistics, it turns out diaspora remittances go sharply into consumption, rather than investment. Well, civic discontent with the state is quite superficial, yet unannounced, and stammering that massively express itself in three words of dung: “Serious protests continue to have a completely nationalist character.

Escape is not to be seen too closely. It is fleeing from the responsibility to do something for the community. Escape from responsibility to lay the foundation of a righteous, progressive society. Like corruption. Even corrupts can be described as ciikas. And likewise, as Frommmi did, those who go on their way to extreme religious ideas or political incoherents as well as those who do not do the work they are paid for.

It is widely believed that if visas are liberalised, Kosovo will release tens of thousands more. Maybe hundreds of thousands. If free labor power is required in EU countries, one million can go.

Well, leaving the country is not a heroic act or something to be proud of. Given the individualist's point of view, the action has no meaning. However, within a country's vision, he gets the sense of shameful action.
